Explanation
A job shop production process is characterized by low volume, high variety, flexible equipment, and intermittent production. Unlike high volume production processes, job shops typically handle small batch sizes and produce customized products or services. The use of flexible equipment allows for the efficient production of a wide range of products with varying specifications. The intermittent production refers to the irregular flow of work through the production process, as each job may have different requirements and processing times. Therefore, the statement "A job shop production process is characterized by high volume, high variety, flexible equipment, and intermittent production" is incorrect.
